What should I expect from working with a surveyor - am i going to need to provide any information in advance when it comes to my property in order to get a survey in Mobile started?
A: Overall it's actually a very simple process. When you want to order a survey in Mobile you merely need to contact a company that does residential land survey. The surveyor will run down a listing of questions with you as a way to garner some necessary information on the project; primarily the address of the land, the municipality where it's located (in or around Mobile?) and when you're buying the land they'll need the name of the current owner.
Q: Every project I've been involved in around my property is definitely a lengthy one. Since the survey is an outdoor job that may get held up by a lot of factors, what's the average amount of time it requires to a get a survey in Mobile complete once the project starts?
A: For some residential projects, it's just 2 to 3 3 weeks to complete a survey in Mobile. Obviously this can vary due to other factors that may contain the process up. During the time in which a survey in Mobile is being completed, the survey will have to begin by gathering pertinent data surrounding the property in questions - often beginning with court records and existing documents on past surveys. After find a contractor of data is complete, the survey begins on the house. From the completed survey, the surveyor will provide the land owner or requesting party with up-to-date maps. For other projects relating to subdivisions or construction topography, the time frame will vary with respect to the size of the project.
Q- It sounds like there's lots of information which has to be gathered and compiled for a residential land survey in Mobile. With all of the information that's being handled by the surveyor, just what can I expect to receive once the survey in Mobile in completed?
A- The boundaries of the house are generally marked, particularly in the corners. The markers which are used to mark the corners are often permanent markers such as iron pins or other more permanent material. These markers typically carry the name or identification of the surveyor in the event that someone needs to contact them down the road. Beyond the markers, the individual ordering the survey receives copies of the new and wholly accurate property map. The original is held by the surveyor, and additional copies can be easily requested to be passed out to attorneys, contractors, etc.
